    This coming from the guy that has Usyk and Beterbiev #1 and #2 p4p lol. Crawford is miles ahead of both.

    Both of them have beaten elite fighters in their prime. Crawford has been frozen out and cant be properly rated. He hasnt fought anybody yet.

    I do think he should Porter as that fight will give us a sincere and accurate judgment as to where Bud stands at Welterweight though P4P he deserves to be ranked number 1 right now which status will be threatened if and when he faces my boy Erroll Spence Jr.

    Ah yes another one of these 140 was terrible but 160 and cruiserweight were fantastic. How? No one can exactly explain what the big difference was between unifying super lightweight versus cruiserweight. Can someone offer an explanation that makes any sense at all?

    It's easy to rate Crawford. He's the BumKiller.

    That was a good fight. That's the fight Crawford stood toe to toe with the guy. Never tried to box. Crawford got rocked in the 2nd, I believe and it's like a switch went off and Crawford decided he's the killer in there. Good fight. I believe if Crawford stayed in character, he would have dominated, but I'm glad he went straight up with the guy. Crawford got banged up in that one.

    Take away the media hype and Zab Judah is not that different from SRL two great champions, some how the fans love to find SRL excuses for getting beat up by smaller guys & ducking hawks

    If Brook upsets Crawford, Zab Judah vs Crawford is a great crossroads fight

    He’s solid all-around, but not extraordinary at anything. He’s a slightly talented version of, Andre Ward.

    When I was in NYC I visited Bob Arum's office

    As I entered the room I noticed a pair of big wide eyes staring at me from under his desk

    I paused for a moment and murmured "What the F" to myself.

    "Oh that's just Terence" Bob uttered under his breath whilst pointing out a picture of Tyson Fury on his wall - "This guy is the biggest thing in heavyweight boxing since Ali" Bob exclaimed.

    I shuffled towards the desk and the caged Crawford started to make noises at me: "feed me washed up brits, Khan, Brook please daddy"

    I kicked the cage and told him the stfu and fight Spence which made him hush down whilst me and Bob got down to business.

    Hawk was offered a career high payday to fight SRL. He turned it down. But seriously...not that different?!?! Does Zab have anyone like Hearns on his resume? Hagler? Duran? Benitez?

    And Zab is more than done. He hasn't even fought WW for a while. TC, even if he lost to Brook, would demolish ZAb. :dunno

    First time I've ever heard someone try to claim zab judah was as good as ray leonard in my entire life. What other secrets can you share that 99.9% of the rest of us missed?

    Taking six rounds to dispatch the ghost of a biscuit chinned Amir Khan is not a good look to be fair.

    I'm not writing him off, the skills are there but the jury is out.
